Movie Memories: Movies at Home

Today’s “Movie Memory” comes from the slightly twisted and utterly delightful mind of Jill Blake, headmistress of the essential classic film blog Sittin’ on a Backyard Fence. In her hilarious essay, Jill looks back at her childhood and reflects on the movies–both great and not-so-great–that she shared at home with her parents while growing up. This thoughtful look back at the ways in which movies form bonds between parents and children is simply a must-read!

Jill Blake is the owner/managing editor of the classic film website Sittin’ on a Backyard Fence. She is also a special contributor to the pop culture website CC2k. In 2012, she was interviewed on-air by Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz. In 2013, she was a featured guest on the TCM podcast. In her spare time, Jill is a stay-at-home mom, wife, fried okra connoisseur, and the neighborhood’s own L.B. Jeffries. Follow Jill on Twitter: @biscuitkitten.
